Stuck with pattern again.

Not happy with the update today it killed screen casting.

After getting that working, I am stuck with patterns - again.

See screencast:

I have made a block with 6 screw holes on the top.

There are 6 wire connection points below.

You can see the screw holes.

I make a rectangle (though there is an existing one but....) on the face of the "block" and then try to pattern it.

It won't.    Weird, because this is what I remember I did to do the screw holes on the top side.

Your Pattern worked as requested but not what you wanted, (your selecting was bit quick, but you ended up with)

the 1 selected was the corner point, the pattern when finished had 6 points in a horizontal line.

Window select the rectangle for the next time.

Might help....

There in lies the problem....

I can NOT select the rectangle.

Dunno why.

Clicking in/on it:  nothing happens.

Select menu may not be set to Window

Alas something else isn't "playing the game".

(Bed is calling and I may stop soon.)

Pull a window over the rectangle, you are patterning sketch articles, means you have to shift click each line, or window marquee the rectangle, 

After you have the selection selected the rest of the dialogue box will work

I'm not sure I am doing it correctly, but it seems to work.

Weird how the first time I could select the sketch, and now in this case it won't let me.

All good though.
